[QUOTE="STM, post: 123403, member: 12827"] This is the risk we take posting stuff on the web. Why pay $100 to a stock photo site when you can just steal it from someone for free? I mean, the internet is HUGE, who is going to know, right? The only way to stop it is to make the image 250 pixels long, 72 dpi and put a huge watermark on it so the time it will take to clone it out is not worth it. [IMG]http://i1338.photobucket.com/albums/o690/photodotnet/mine_zpse61f5eff.jpg[/IMG] I shot a slide of Nancy Wilson (of Heart fame) back in October, 1970 at a concert at UNC while I was a student there. I had posted it to my personal photography website maybe 10 years or so ago. I was doing a internet search about 5 or 6 years ago and lo and behold there it was! No credit, nothing, just my photo of Nancy. I contacted the webmaster that instant and told him that that was my image and the only place he could have stolen it from was [I]MY WEBSITE [/I]and I had the slide to prove it was mine and unless he took it down immediately he would hear from an attorney (who was my next door neighbor). He responded about 8 hours later and when I told him I was DEAD SERIOUS about internet theft and that I would pursue legal action and he finally begrudgingly took it down. This is the image that [I]knukka-hed [/I]stole, I put copyright info on these ones, though anyone with even meager PS skills could easily clone it out in image in a matter of seconds: [IMG]http://i1338.photobucket.com/albums/o690/photodotnet/NancyWilson_zpsd4da0082.jpg[/IMG] And here is another one from the same show. Nancy (and Ann too) both were a 10's on a scale of 1 to 2 back then. [IMG]http://i1338.photobucket.com/albums/o690/photodotnet/NancyWilson2_zps06fa4b60.jpg[/IMG] If he had just asked me I would have more than been happy to let him use it, as long as I could send him a copy which had my copyright information on it in a watermark. But no, he had to be a cyber-thief and steal it. [/QUOTE]
